"7 THINGS ABOUT ME" MEME

I have been tagged by Moo at "Moo's Blog" (USA), Eglantine at "...Le Placard D'elle" (France) Melaanii at "Sel Et Poivre" (France), Cachou66 at "Autour De Ma Table" (France) and Missval at "Ma P'tite Cuisine" (France) for this meme. Thanks for tagging me, girls!

Although, it was quite difficult to find seven things/truths about myself, I struggled and thought a lot and that's what resulted from my brainstorming, so enjoy your read...

  • I am a very shy person who has to do immense efforts every time I meet someone that I don't know. It makes me stress, because I always tend to imagine what they would/could think about me. As I'm very critical towards myself and lack confidence, I generally don't see myself in a positive way. The unknown destabilizes me, but, strangely, once the first contact has been made, then I don't feel inhibited anymore...
  • I'd love to live a simple countryside life somewhere in Canada or in the US and have my own deli, grocery/bakery store or diner...
  • If I have to cook for others, then I can never make up my mind regarding the dishes that I will prepare! I need to think about it some time in advance (more than a week before), because I never stop changing my mind ragarding my choice of dishes...
  • Food is my obsession. I think about it day and night! Cooking relaxes me and gives me a feeling of well-being. And as the saying says "You are what you eat.", I find it to be a very important thing in life in order to be fit, althought I'm not a health nut...
  • Although I love my two kitties, I could sometimes "kill" them! Virtually, of course! Sometimes you really need a lot of self-control to not go totally bananas. They really know how to drive me crazy...
  • I can be very impatient and never let the people finish their sentences or do it for them when I feel that it's going too slowly. It is not that I don't listen to what they say. It's just that I can't wait and hate silence. It's a VERY bad habit that I'm trying to get rid of, but it's not that easy...
  • I hate to be the center of attention or to speak about myself. I am not capable of being egocentric or self-centered, therefore I am more interested in others. That's why you might not know much about me and my life...
Rules of the game:
Each person tagged gives seven random facts about themselves.
Those tagged need to write in their blogs seven facts, as well as the rules of the game.
You need to tag seven others and list their names on your blog.
You have to leave those you plan on tagging a note in their comment
s so they know that they have been tagged and need to read your blog.

I tag the following people:
Anybody who feels concerned or who hasn't yet done this meme...

  12. Tu as franchi le pas, et moi j'ai refusé !
    Comme toi j'ai horreur de me délivrer, ce n'est pas de la timidité mais de la retenue.
    Merci pour ton gentil commentaire.

  13. Merci de t'être prêté à ce jeu malgré ta timidité et ton peu de goût à parler de toi. Nous en savons un peu plus maintenant ! Sais tu que je fais d'énormes progrès en anglais depuis que je te fréquente !

  14. Those are some interesting observations. I think you and I have some things in common: I am obsessed by food (well, fillet steak to be precise) and I am more concerned with others than I am myself. Actually, that second one is a blatant lie. I am a self obsessed siamese prince! xx

  16. Thank you for sharing, Rosa. It's a pleasure to learn more about you. If you open your café in Canada, let me know... I'll be your first customer (and I don't talk (or type) slow! Mostly straight) ;-D

  17. before *killing" your kitties (only virtually, of course) I am willing to offer Fridolin and Maruschka lifelong asyle in my home (virtually, of course). Vraiment sympa, ce post et ton blog.
    liebe Grüsse Robert

  18. I love Georgia O' Keefe. I can't see how you could leave your beautiful home---but if you ever want to open a nice deli in the wine country of California, please let me know! I'll be your first customer.

    I do the same thing of interrupting people when they talk.Bad Sher!

  19. Comme toi je suis assez timide et ce n'est pas toujours évident...
    Lorsque j'invite je réfléchis beaucoup aussi à ce que je vais faire et cela bien à l'avance !

  20. Contente d'en savoir un peu plus sur toi...Je suis aussi très réservée et plutôt timide et manque de confiance en moi. Il faut toujours faire beaucoup d'efforts pour aller vers les autres et ce n'est pas facile!
    Bonne journée.

    SYLVIE: Tu as raison, ce n'est pas toujours facile dêtre timide... Pour ce qui est de réfléchir aux menus lors des visites, je suis imbattable car je peux changer d'avis chaque jours et cela des semaines à l'avance!!!
